Filtering image size when getting image from taxonomy term

Hello

I have a custom type with categories, where I have a custom field to add an image, see:

I display this image in archive.php using this code:

$product_category_img = get_field('product_category_image', 'product_categories_' . $term->term_id );

<img src="<?php echo $product_category_img; ?>" alt="<?php echo $term->name; ?>">

I would like to filter the image size to use a custom size, to achieve this I’ve tried:

$product_category_img = get_field('product_category_image', 'product_categories_' . $term->term_id );
$size = "product-thumb";
$image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $product_category_img, $size );	

<img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="<?php echo $term->name; ?>">

However, this does not output the image.

Any for how to use a custom image size in this situation?

Many thanks
Dave

Hi @juxprose

To obtain a custom image size, you must select the ‘Image ID’ return value setting. You need the ID to load a custom size via the wp_get_attachment_image_src function.

You can also use the ‘Image Object’ return type to get an array containing all the image data including all the ‘sizes’.

Thanks
